The iPhone will stay signed in as well though. I think they just store some
kind of cookie that keeps these apps signed in so you don't have to enter the
info every time.

Subject: Re: Interesting question about the Apple TV
Truth to tell, there is no accessible way, of which I am aware, to judge
whether those apps are really and truly closing when the main menu is returned
to. Some would, I suppose, say that in this case, it really does not matter.
Seems to me, if Netflix's behavior is anything by which to judge, however,
that the apps truly do close when the main menu is returned to. This, I judge
by tha fact that every time I return to the main menu and then open up Netflix
again on my Apple TV, I land in the screen where I am asked "who's watching
netflix?'. The fact that I stay apparently signed in, though, could also be
interpreated to mean that the app is not really closing. I suppose, for what
it's worth, that they do actually close.
Sincerely,

Still a happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone 6+ and Apple TV user!

This question applies both to the 2nd and the 3rd generations.
So, I take close note here of realizing that to close one of the... well...
as I call them, applets on the device, by applet, I mean any of the things on
your menu, like Netflix, Movies, Hulu, HBO Now, PBX Kids, etc. Anyway, to
close any of these, you simply either hit your back button until you reach the
main home screen menu, or, you press and hold down the menu key. I know
depending on if you have the accessibility menu on or off, you then may have
one more step to get to the main menu, but my point still remains either way.
My question is, how do we really truely and honestly know if those applets
really indeed are fully closing? We don't really have an app switcher/chooser,
nor do we have a process manager/task manager of sort on the device, so really
Apple can say all the doo da day that these apps are closing, but, you know as
well as I, whether you like admitting it or not, that some companies, not
saying just Apple here, I mean this more generalized, have a tendency to
stretch or omit the truth with some things. I just wonder if maybe the memory
resources are actually not totally being cleared up just by backing out of
something. I wonder if on the low level end, if there's an accessible way that
we could find out and know for 100% sure what *really!* actually happens when
one backs out of one of those apps.
Kind a makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Chris.
